CNC Machine Monitoring | CIMCO
CIMCO MDC-Max
Is the complete MDC solution that automatically gathers and processes manufacturing data from the shop floor in real-time.
Easily generate reports and charts with automatic calculation of OEE, cycle time, idle time, setup time, downtime and more. MDC-Max features real-time machine monitoring with Live Screens and has a fully customizable Operator interface for entering downtime reasons directly at the machine.
The complete MDC solution
MDC-Max enables you to collect and analyze data from machines and operators to get real-time and historic insights into your shop floor's productivity, performance and quality.MDC-Max lets you use the data in various ways and on different platforms. You can show the data on information screens throughout the shop floor and offices to keep everyone updated and motivated - or send the data to external systems, such as ERP or MES, for further analysis and integration.
MES / CNC Monitoring – CIMCO MDC-Max
CNC monitoring, data acquisition and custom manufacturing solutions
CNC monitoring solutions for manufacturing
Reliable CNC monitoring and data acquisition are essential to understand real machine performance, improve productivity and support data-driven manufacturing decisions.
At SAMEC, we are official distributors and partners of CIMCO (Denmark), using CIMCO MDC-Max as our main platform for CNC monitoring and MES-level data collection.
In addition, we develop custom MES and data processing solutions when standard MDC-Max functionality does not fully cover customer requirements.
CIMCO MDC-Max
CIMCO MDC-Max is a powerful solution for collecting production data directly from CNC machines, providing real-time visibility into machine status, downtime and performance.

When standard MDC-Max is not enough
In many factories, production data needs to be processed, combined or visualized beyond standard MES dashboards, especially when no ERP or higher-level system is available.
In these cases, SAMEC develops custom solutions on top of MDC-Max data.
Examples of custom developments
-
Custom dashboards and production reports
-
Data processing and normalization
-
OEE calculations adapted to customer rules
-
Interfaces for production supervisors and management
-
Custom databases and historical analysis tools
-
Integration with ERP or other business systems
-
Standalone production management solutions when no ERP exists
From CNC machines to actionable information
Our typical architecture includes:
-
CNC machines (modern or legacy)
-
CIMCO MDC-Max data collection
-
Central database
-
Custom data processing and applications
-
Optional ERP or planning system integration
This ensures reliable data capture and meaningful information, not just raw data.
Integration with manufacturing systems
MDC-Max data and custom solutions can be integrated with:
-
ERP systems
